Notes About The Poem

Angelic or Abandoned Words Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France

Abandoned

Sweating she woke up,
soaking wet she was.
Nightmares from the past
coming to life.
       She got up and walked,
she wanted to be sure,
she was awake 
from the nightmares.
After a nice shower, 
she stared at the white wall,
lost into her own thoughts,
coming as shadows
in the middle of the night,
without light, just darkness
of a hard past.
       Irreparable harm on her heart, 
but her soul is humble, looking
always for reasons, 
looking for answers 
in the middle of the night,
when she wakes up sweating, 
feeling abandoned day by day
and night after night.
       An abandoned child,
rejected as a bag of rubbish,
hit by life, growing between
sharks and the waves of life.
       She grew up strong,
despite of being abandoned,
or rejected as a human being,
she made her way to keep her rage 
far from a heart, managed by her mind, 
which gave her the choice,
to forgive or to be soaking wet 
at night with dark nightmares.
       She had the choice to find herself, 
after being lost and abandoned:
She chose to forgive with no stones
on her back.

Enjoyed this difficult and intense poem that's written so well. It creates such a picture in the mind, whether we've been there or not.

This is brutal in its delivery. Not many could forgive as she did. How many children for this description? Sad, sad
